Our Name
Atlas holds several meanings, two of which were intentional in naming our
counseling
practice. An atlas is a collection of maps or drawings intended to provide
direction, just
as counseling is a process of finding one’s way in life. The Greek mythological
character
Atlas was assigned the task of holding up the heavens or, more commonly
believed,
the Earth. “Atlas” is synonymous with “endure.” Atlas literally felt the burden
of the
world upon his shoulders yet continued to persevere. Atlas is a sympathetic
character
to anyone who feels overwhelmed and stressed, and, while many situations in life
can
be fixed or adjusted to provide greater ease, sometimes our best choice is to
adapt to
our environment and figure out how to thrive despite obstacles or burdens.
